Well, it has been almost 6 weeks, and today when June commented how well his scar was healing, we learned that Marion was unaware that he had had surgery. He only thought that he had suffered a concussion. What a blessing it is that the patient has little memory of many of the events surrounding such a traumatic accident. If only that was true for the family as well.
This has been a wonderful weekend. June (Condie) Collier and husband John arrived late Friday night. Jenice and Craig Condie with son, Tanner arrived about 6pm Sat. and Marion just kept perking up as more family poured into his room. Karen was there, as she is almost every day in spite of her hectic schedule. Bishop Foote arrived before 7pm also, and with his spirituality, plus sunny disposition and sense of humor added a wonderful element to our little group! Jim and Todd plan to join us tomorrow, so we will have a mini family reunion!
Marion is continuing to eat more and more each meal. Hopefully in a day or so I will be able to report that the feeding tube has been removed. After lunch today, during which June, Karen and I sat with him in the "lunch room" at the end of the loooong hall of the hospital corridor, Marion pushed himself in a wheelchair, ALL the way back to his own room with June only pulling the oxygen tank along! Another accomplishment, helping him to regain strength. I know I keep saying this, but the improvements seem to come each day.
Thank you again for your prayers. These miracles in the recovery we are seeing in Marion are truly a gift from Heavenly Father. There was a time when I did not expect to see him at this point. That is not to say that I do not have faith, or that I do not believe that all things are possible. It is just that Marion was so sick and so broken. But "all things are possible". Thank you again for your support. Love, Sue
